ChainCatcher news, BitwiseInvest advisor Jeff Park pointed out in an article that Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor" is no longer applicable to the current market, and the traditional "Newtonian investors" relying on earnings and discount models are gradually becoming ineffective. He believes that global investment is entering an era of "ideological investors," where capital allocation is increasingly driven by geopolitical, artificial intelligence, and cultural factors, rather than purely by yield models.In this framework, Park views Bitcoin as a deep value asset: its code operates beyond geopolitical interference; its consensus mechanism reflects the value of computing power and is unrelated to the AI paradigm; its community culture is globally unified and decentralized. He stated that Bitcoin possesses both hedging and belief attributes, allowing it to maintain resilience amid institutional changes and ideological conflicts, thus becoming a core asset for ideological investors.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, Morgan Stanley strategist Wilson stated that although the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have dominated the headlines, sell-offs triggered by geopolitical events typically last for a shorter duration.After the U.S. joined Israel's attack over the weekend, the market reaction was relatively mild, with Brent crude oil prices rising by as much as 5.7%, but most of the gains were given back on Monday. However, Iran may respond to the escalation by disrupting navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial transportation route for global oil and gas.

ChainCatcher news, the UK government has announced the abandonment of sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, transferring it to the neighboring island nation of Mauritius. Once the treaty is signed, the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist. International organizations will update their records.Previously, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) nominally assigned ".io" as the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) to the British Indian Ocean Territory. The return of the Chagos Archipelago will lead to the disappearance of the British Indian Ocean Territory, and the corresponding ISO-3166 two-letter country code IO and ".io" domain may also be revoked.It is reported that many users and businesses view ".io" as a generic top-level domain (gTLD), rather than one specific to a particular country/region. As of 2023, approximately 1.2 million ".io" domains have been registered, a significant portion of which are associated with cryptocurrency-related companies.
